and another to actually experience the insights from the inside in a way that shifts your unconscious predictions.
Right, so my experience around this is that I’m probably one of the lucky ones in that I’ve never really had those sorts of internal conflicts that make people claim that they suffer from akrasia, or excessive shame/guilt/regret. I’ve always been at peace with myself in this sense, and so reading people trying to explain their therapy/spirituality insights usually makes me go “Huh, so apparently this stuff doesn’t come naturally to most people, shame that they have to bend themselves backwards to get to where I have always been. Cool that they have developed all these neat theoretical constructions meanwhile though.”
Maybe give some of it a try if you haven’t already, see if you feel motivated to continue doing it for the immediate benefits, and then just stick to reading about it out of curiosity if not?
Trying to dismiss the content of my thoughts does seem to help me fall asleep faster (sometimes), so there’s that at least :)
